night raids

Players in Arc Raiders face challenges in finding rusted gears, which are essential for upgrading workshop benches to craft high-level gear. Rusted gears are primarily found in industrial areas, but their acquisition can be frustrating. Effective strategies for finding them include conducting night raids, with two prime locations identified: 1. The Blue Gate, located in the tunnels north of Checkpoint, where players have success finding gears in breachable containers and abandoned vehicles. 2. Buried City, specifically the car park east of the library building, which also has many breachable vehicles but poses threats from drones. Upgrading the gunsmith to level three allows players to craft high-level blueprints after gathering enough rusted gears. Using an augment for carrying valuable items and having an Arc Raiders Hatch Key is recommended for safer escapes during searches.
